Facebook uproar over nude coffee shop waitress in Thailand

BANGKOK: Photos posted to Facebook of an almost nude waitress at a coffee shop in Chon Buriâs Sattahip district trigged a storm of criticism from mostly women users of the site.

The post, by a Facebook user with the account name of Krua Sahapat-Laem Chabang at 7am Saturday, drew over 3,500 comments in just five hours.

It also drew over 21,000 reactions and was shared over 8,800 times in the five-hour period.

The photos show a beautiful young woman wearing underwear and no bras. She has covered her front with a barista saffron, leaving little to the imagination.

âDo you have to do as much as this to promote your shop? So, do you want to open a coffee shop or a brothel?" asked Facebook user Benyapa Rungkitsataporn. âThis kind of promotion prompted female baristas like me to be viewed negatively,â posted another Facebook user.

âNow, foreigners per ceive Thailand as brothels. Please have understanding for working people in the profession [when] you use this kind of bad promotion. Please understand how they will be perceived."

And user Arisara Suwattanakorn posted: âYou don't have to undress to promote a coffee shop. People come to drink coffee, not come to a massage parlour. Itâs shameful for both the model and the shop owner.â - The Nation/Asia News Network Related NewsSource: Google News Thailand | Netizen 24 Thailand
